Samsung Canada has leaked the specs for the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S III as the device will be the SGH-iT999 in Canada and the SGH-T999 for T-Mobile in the States; more importantly,Samsung Canada confirms the June 20th launch date for the device on both countries...

just because its goin to release in those 2 canadian carriers which also use the 1700 mhz band like t-mobile usa on june 20 doeznt mean t-mobile will get it june 20. One thing i learned from samsung the hard way is that usually the US Is the last place to get there phones like with the galaxy s 2 and the galaxy note everyone else around the world europe, asia, australia, canada EVEN mexico always gets there phones first sucks but true. Like with the galaxy note att got it a lil while ago my relatives in mexico had the galaxy note on " TELCEL" ( a mexican gsm carrier) since like last october nd they also get the same versions of the phones they get in europe with the home button in the middle not the buttonless version att got here so yea i doubt it t-mobile will get it on june 20 sucks because i decided to get this phone and try it but who knows when wel get it in the US .

It's not the shared band but the model number on which the speculation is based. The T-Mobile GSIII passed through the FCC as the SGH-T999 whereas this one is the SGH-iT999. The similarity suggests identical specs.

2GB RAM is nice, but if the US version does comes with the S4 processor then Samsung wont be getting my money. I don't see why they don't put the Exynos 5 dual in it. Also, who would buy this when they can go buy an unlocked international version and have the quad-core processor.

proper utilization of the extra ram can help bolster CPU/GPU performance if done right. Basically its like sticking a turbo on an engine to increase output. So IF its done right, it may come close to washing out some of the power difference between the chipsets. We will have to wait for a retail unit vs retail unit bench comparison to find out though.

Exynos 5 is not ready for the mass production needed to carry the SGS3's sales. If you wanted that, you would probably want to wait for the Note as I have a sneaking suspicion that the Note 2 will be the first phone with the 5250 installed.

I myself toy with getting an unlocked version and bringing it stateside. IF you happen to be in a major metro area, you might be part of the 1900 conversion like I THINK I am (and it might have already happened in your area), then all is roses. However, if your not, you will be giving up all 3g and 4g access and be stuck on edge/wifi only. So you gotta really think about how you feel about that.

When the retail to retail comparisons come out, I'll make my final decision on weather or not im getting the SGS3. If they can optimize the extra memory well enough that the chips are within say 10% of each other performance wise, I may break down and buy a crapdragon enhanced version. But its going to take MANY positive comparison tests to get me to that point. If not, I'll see who else wants my money for a super spec device.

No, for the haters, that wont make me change my mind about chip rankings.. rankings are rankings, period.

like if it actually uses it's support for dual-channel memory with 2GB for instance. i'd rather have 1GB of dual-channel memory than 2GB of single channel memory being that my 1GB of the dual-channel variety has been sufficient enough for me thus far.

For me, I't doesn't matter. All I know is that Sprint, will have the best version so I'm fine. I see where you are coming from but I'd rather pay 200 for a phone then like 650 for it is. Not to mention you guys are just spoiled. lol They only reason I would buy a quadcore device is because of its graphics but.....still, I'm a cheap bitch so subsidized prices are my savior....lol

That means the S4 sucks, they have to put 2 gigs of ram so it can perform close to the exynos. I want the original and I still dont see how samsung is going to push out Apples A5 chips on lte and they cant even make theres compatible in the states.

If Samsung is reading this, I would like to know why they aren't using the quad core for Tmobile USA version, since they don't have LTE!?? Even though the s4 is still better than what's available now, but I would like to see a true n newly refreshed galaxy phone launch in US shores! That alone I believe would gain some customers from other providers.

They are doing the s4 with 2gb of RAM so that it can have their HSPA+42mbps speeds over the strength of the exynos. Which if the RAM is dual-channel then we will more than likely be fine. If its CPU/GPU im worried about ill gladly root and overclock both a bit to where it equals the exynos in performance.

If they do exactly that for Verizon in white, that is my next phone. Still going to follow what apple is doing with the next iphone but it has to be AMAZING for me to leave android. have had blackberries and androids so the iPhone is the only (relevant) OS I haven't experienced. oh ya RIM is gunna go bankrupt so nvm....
